I can't imagine an existence without music.
I grew up in a household that always had music playing- on the radio or record player.
At 13, I discovered the guitar -along with all of the other Beatle and Stones lovers of the world-and everything changed. The guitar has been my companion in coffee shops, rock bands, through the highs and lows of life and now to my solo career.
The early musical influences of my upbringing have provided me with an appreciation for a very wide range of music. That is why today I perform jazz flavored classics, blues and covers of top 40 songs plus my originals.
Here are a couple of testimonials:

Clic“Rick is everything you could ask of an entertainer- professional, personable, on-time, and darn good! We receive such great feedback from guests every time we have Rick play in our lounge. Recently he played in our dining room for a private party of about 60 people. Our guests raved about the perfect atmosphere he created with his music!” k here to add text.
"Rick plays at our wine bar on a regular basis and he always draws a crowd! His personality is fun and lively, and he likes to make sure everyone is having a great time. Unlike most musicians, he never takes a break and plays straight through. We can always expect a busy night when Rick is here - and I have been told by multiple customers, "When Rick is back, I will be back!" Evan S.
"Thanks for playing tonight. You were awesome!" Angela - City Park Grill Petoskey
